ANTHONY VARD, OF BROOKLYN, NEY YORK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,003, dated March 16, 1886.

Application tiled October 27,1885.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHONY WARD, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Yinter Traveling Caps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of one of my improved winter' traveling caps. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same with the cape turned down. Fig. 3 is a sectional front elevation of the same, taken through the line x m, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the manner of cutting out the cap.

The object of this invention is to provide winter traveling caps constructed with capes to be turned downto serve as neck-mufflers, and made in such a manner that there will be very little Waste of material in cutting out the caps.

The invention consists in a Winter traveling cap constructed with the body of the cap, the visor, the cape, and the cape-lining in one piece, as will be hereinafter fully described and then claimed.

A represents the body of the cap; B is the visor; O is the cape, and D is the cape-lining, all of which parts are cut out in one piece, as illustrated in Fig. 4, the cloth being doubled at the lower edge of the pattern so that the two halves of the pattern will be cut out at the same time. Darts E are cut out of the fold of the material, as indicated by the white spaces at the points E in Fig. 1, and by the short seams F in Figs. 2 and 3, to give the proper shape to the cape at the back of the cap and to the upper part of the cap-body.

The top or crown G of the cap is formed of a circular piece of the material,and the visorlining H of a semicircular piece. A half of the crown G and a half of the visor-lining H i Serial No. 1Q1,058. (No model.)

are shown in Fig. 4, where they are represented as being cut out of the material at the forward edges of the cape and cape-lining and below the visor, the other halves of the said parts being cut out of the corresponding spaces of the next cap, which is cut from the material in a reverse position.

In making the cap the cape-lining is turned in and is sewed at its edge. The frontseam,l, is then sewed up and the crown G is sewed in.

The body A of the cap and the crown G can be provided with a lining, J, if desired.

The edge of the visor B and the forward edge of the cape O can be bound with silk K or other suitable material,and the lower seam, F,can be covered with a facing, L, of the same material. Vith this construction there will be very little Waste of the material in cutting out the caps, the entire waste for each cap being represented by the white spaces M in Fig. 4.

Caps thus made can be coinpactly folded and carried in the pocket without being harmed or disiigured.

The caps can be made of woven or knitted fabric, as may be desired.

The corners of the cape G can be connected when turned up upon the body A, and when turned down around the neck ofthe wearer, by a short strap, N, secured to the said corners by buttons O, or other suitable means.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improved article of manufacture, a traveling cap composed of two pieces, the crown G and body portion A, the latter being provided with the visor B, the cape O, and the cape -lining D, the said body portion formed from one and the same piece of material, as set forth.

ANTHONY WARD.
